Abstract excerpt
Myostatin acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth; therefore, its role is important with regard to animal growth and meat production. This study was undertaken with the objective to detect polymorphisms in the first intron and c.*1232 position of the MSTN gene and to analyze effects of the detected alleles/genotypes on growth and carcass traits in Colored Polish Merino sheep. In total, 23 traits were...
